It’s not strange for the same address to show three different balances in a wallet—they’re recorded in different ledgers.
The $DOGE balance on the main chain is recorded on Dogecoin’s own ledger; the balance of DRC-20 tokens is protocol data written into on-chain transactions and has to be parsed by an indexer; assets with the same name that you see when connected to another chain are recorded on that other chain. The address looks the same, but the ledgers are different, so naturally the numbers are different.
Beginners often mistake the main-chain balance for proof that a transfer has arrived: when you transfer DRC-20, your main-chain DOGE balance may only decrease by the transaction fee, while the token balance won’t update until the indexer catches up. During that time, it can look as though the transfer hasn’t arrived.
